Good. Then force those corporations to set up independent corporations in the EU, the same way the US wants to do to TikTok. Otherwise ban Google, Meta, and Apple from here. Nothing would be better than the US' fascist "freedoms" to leave the EU.
Big Tech Companies in the US Have Been Told Not to Apply the Digital Services Act
The FTC notified companies like Google, Meta, and Apple that they must not apply the Digital Services Act, which regulates digital platforms, if it jeopardizes the freedom of Americans.

Trump just fired the head of the BLS, accusing her of rigging data.
The reality is that by shooting the messenger reporting on the negative effects of his economic policies, Trump pushed America further into banana republic territory.

Any move to prosecute Obama is likely to be stymied by the supreme court ruling granting presidents broad immunity.
This was widely viewed as favoring Trump. Ironically, it may now form an obstacle to his stated desire to pursue retribution against his opponents.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.
So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.
They opened the drawbridge to block them.
So they marched to a different bridge.

Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”
